Hey Everyone-
I don't know if I can even put into words today's show! SO MUCH information...Here goes: Vastu (Vah-stoo) was "created" in India many thousands of years ago, pre-dating the Hindu religion. Ancient Vedic texts have described this philosophy with Vastu also becoming known as "Vedic Architecture". The Vedic texts are "records of the vibrations, or laws, of nature" and it's according to these vibrations, that the ancients built their buildings. In Vastu, buildings are to be oriented to the EAST (i.e. the FRONT ENTRYWAY of your space should face east) to be in accordance with the path the Sun travels daily. It is off of this main directive that the placement of all other rooms is based. Now, there are other "teachings" of Vastu (like the 3 schools of Feng Shui) which are based off of different family lineages, although they are not "formal" schools as they are referred to in Feng Shui. Front door placement: E = enlightenment N=happiness & prosperity Bed placement: E and S is OK for the headboard to be placed On a scientific, or "Western" note, neurologists have found that those studied who FACED EAST showed more coherence & cognitive activity! Heart disease, depression & anxiety are also being studied in terms of the affect direction has on the person and their recovery....VERY interesting! Feng Shui vs Vastu: Feng Shui (compass & Black Hat Sect) use a Bagua Board to "activate" Life Areas and help determine spac-plan, color, accessory. The Compass School uses the person(s) & the building's birth dates to determine good/bad directions & then orients the Bagua according to that...BHS does not. Bagua is oriented to the entryway of the space. Vastu only orients to the E, or in some cases N, cardinal direction. The "birth" dates of the space's owners only comes into play when determing dates for various construction projects. Once the space is complete, then only the cardinal directions come into play. Feng Shui is concerned with room AND furniture placement to help increase/decrease energy. Vastu only concerned with room placement w/in the space. Feng Shui traditions state that the person's intentions, emotions and activities play a part in their fortunes/health. Vastu takes the position that if the space is built according to Vastu principles, then good health/fortune will be had regardless of belief. In Feng Shui, there are "cures" or "tweaks" as I call them, that you can apply to your space to create positive energy flow & make your space work for you. Vastu does not-it is either built accordingly or it's not. Vastu is of the mind that it is better to tear down & begin again instead of "tweak". In BOTH traditions, proportion is important. Your own space, surrounding buildings/landscaping...all come into play to ensure proper energy flow. BOTH are also concerned with the surrounding influences of the neighborhood-neighboring homes, noise, landscaping, water features... You CANNOT use BOTH traditions in the same space. Although it has been done, you must be sure that the schools are compatible! Meaning, you could use the Black Hat Sect school of thought as long as the home lined up with the E for the front door. You could NOT use together if using the Compass School & you're a "W" oriented person...Confusing, YES! Research, find a philosophy that corresponds to you, your lifestyle & values. Here's more info on Jon Lipman, our guest, and his company Fortune Creating Buildings: www.fortunecreatingbuildings.com 641-472-7570 The website has portfolio pictures (beautiful!), articles and more information about Vastu. Until next time...DeAnna

Here is a very cool article by Chris Westra:
Creating reality in the moment is Holographic Creation. You can also call it manifesting in holographic time. You create what you want on a spiritual level (quantum level), and then it grows until it becomes crystallized into physical reality. All these ten comparisons between holographic creation and visualization are based in the fact that there is no such thing as time. The only moment is now Note – Some people who are skilled at visualization are actually doing holographic creation without knowing it. Visualization (seeing detailed images) is part of holographic creation. This article fully explains the differences between the two. So when I speak of visualization, I’m talking about the limited version of visualization as traditionally taught. Visualization is very powerful for some people precisely because they understand the deeper laws of holographic creation! Learn more about mastering Holographic Time to live in extreme wealth and peace. Now you have these keys to manifestation also! Here are the ten ways. 1. Present vs. Future Holographic creation is a present activity. You build your creations in the present, not in the future. Your focus is truly in the eternal now. Visualization is future-based. Visualization is focused on a desired future, not on creating something in the present. Copyright Christopher Westra and LightisReal.com 1 2. Actual Creation vs. Pictures Holographic creation is really creating something. Holographic Creations are real entities. They are made of matter (just a more refined matter – not visible to us now). Visualization works with pictures. Visualizations are images, and are not usually considered as having a real "existence". 3. Permanent vs. Short Lived A properly constructed holographic creation has the power of permanence. They have continued existence after they are created. They grow independently while you go on to do other things. A visualization is short-lived. If all you are doing is visualizing, your visualizations stop living and existing when you stop visualizing. The picture disappears. 4. Multi-Dimensional vs. Two Dimensional Holographic creation is at least four-dimensional. It is actually a multi-dimensional process (more than four) but four is about all we can understand while in this current time and space game. Visualizations are two-dimensional. Visual images are merely representations in our mind. 5. Inner World vs. Outer World Holographic creation is focused on creation in the inner world of thought, light, energy, and sound. In reality, it’s all energy. You know that the outer manifestation of your thought creations are simply a natural result of the inner manifestation. Visualization is focused on outer reality. The focus in visualization is on the physical world, with little or no emphasis on spiritual pre-creation. Copyright Christopher Westra and LightisReal.com 2 6. Emotional Power vs. Detailed Images Only Holographic creation uses emotion. You can only do holographic creation if you properly use your emotions. You actually feel the emotions you want to feel. The holographic creation sheet helps because you have to actually write down the name of the emotion. You have to decide what emotion you want to feel – confident, joyful, connected, and energetic, and feel the emotion in the present moment! Visualization doesn’t include emotion. Note - many promoters of visualization have discovered the power of emotions and added this to their visualizing program, which is a great plus. Again – Millions of people have found visualization powerful, and it can be. But millions of others have found no benefit. By itself, visualization doesn’t include all the steps. Some find the keys to effectiveness on their own, and some don’t. Holographic creation contains all the elements, and that’s why it’s so effective at creating what you want in life! 7. Gratitude vs. Grasping Holographic creation uses gratitude to align your energies. Proper gratitude is an inherent part of holographic creation. Gratitude aligns your energies with the inner world and allows you to manifest in an easy manner. When you decide to create something good in your life, you must be grateful for what you already have in that area of your life. Trying to manifest from a state of total dissatisfaction with your life (ingratitude) is not effective. It also doesn’t reflect the reality of the many blessings you do have. In visualization there is no emphasis on gratitude. Most often in visualization there is simply wanting, craving, and grasping with no thankfulness for present blessings. Copyright Christopher Westra and LightisReal.com 3 You can find things to be grateful for in any area of your life. The holographic creation sheet makes you find these areas because you have to write it down! 8. Hope vs. Doubt Holographic creation generates amazing hope and confidence. When your energies are aligned, and you absolutely know you are creating in the inner reality, you feel so good! You can feel your creations growing and crystallizing into the "denser" physical reality. Hope is a full expectation of desirable things to come. With holographic creation, you have this full expectation. Visualization works somewhere between doubt and hope. Most people who practice visualization hardly have that "full expectation" that the things they are visualizing will really become reality. 9. Welcoming vs. Needing Holographic creation leads to a relaxed welcoming of desires. There is a divine unconcern that is an integral part of manifesting. HoloCreation naturally produces this mental state. You have confidence because you know the reality of inner creation. This relaxed state leads to peace, oneness, patience, and effective action. Visualization usually stems from a needing, grasping desire. Because there is no work in inner reality, there is often a fear that what one desires will not come to pass. This fearful needing leads to discontent, impatience, hurry, and frantic action. 10. Always Works vs. Sometimes Works Copyright Christopher Westra and LightisReal.com 4 Holographic creation always works. The laws of manifesting physical creation through prior holographic (spiritual) creation always work. You just have to learn the laws and practice the methods. Learn more at ICreateReality.com Visualization sometimes has great results. When visualization "works", it’s because the individual is naturally and intuitively including many of the elements of holographic creation. Everyone will improve their manifesting skills by understanding the principles in a conscious way. You can see a short video about holographic creation at the I Create Reality Link above.

Here goes from last week's Color Chronicles episode on the color RED:
In healthcare setting, RED has been show to increase the autonomic response on an EKG reading as it increases blood pressure, blood circulation and heart rate. Your body temperature has been shown to rise 3 DEGREES in an all RED room...hence no RED in the bedroom if you want to sleep there! RED is associated with the ROOT Chakra-which is our "fight or flight" response, it's related to survival. In Feng Shui terms, RED corresponds with the Success/Luck area of the Bagua Board which you use to activate your social standing in the community/work, highlight achievements, increase recognition, reach to greater heights. RED is also used for the RELATIONSHIP area for those in legally-binding relationships: marriage, business partnership. Chromatherapy, which we've discussed on previous shows, can work wonders to help warm you up (or more romance, increase confidence...) but beware of using RED in a bath as the visual isn't the best. Use LED lights in your spa tub or the RED bath from Colour Energy. RED scents include: cinnamon, spice, pepper, cherry, wasabi, strawberry, apple, raspberry Tara recommends the book "Principles of Color & Light" by Edwin Babbitt to learn more. Next up on the Color Chronicles is the color PURPLE for abundance on March 21st!!!.....DeAnna Hi Everyone-
Great show today & very educational! Our guests offered wonderful & vital info to keep us all safe in our spaces. I couldn't keep up w/all the great info from Bob Carlson & Dana Wilson!! How great were these 2? Here's more info on RADON: "noble gas" along with helium, neon, argon, krypton, and xenon. chemically inactive, but radioactive, during its decay to "radon daughters" (polonium, etc.) [aka radon progeny…guess that’s less sexist] Ionizing vs. other types of electromagnetic radiation shoots out alpha particles, and reputedly even beta (no, that’s from the progeny) tissue damage due to +2 charge and mass inhalation & ingestion EPA guidelines for air and water HEPA furnace filter and aeration of living space, half-life issues, get rid of dust and air sources county-by county health dept. maps, but foundation material may be crucial ***RADON is scentless...you won't know if you have a problem w/this unless you TEST for it. Test kits can be purchased at the hardware store OR get a licensed inspector to come in for about $800-1000 where they know where to to test, at what time of year & can expertly tell you what's up. You only need to test for radon ONCE!!*** RADON is the 2nd leading cause of LUNG CANCER in the US!!! Bob & Dana suggested that you:
Even though we really didn't get to discuss carbon monoxide (we'll address on another show) here is some info: CARBON MONOXIDE: health effects similar to cyanide boogies to the head of the movie line and pushes oxygen out of the way; preferentially bonds with hemoglobin molecules in red blood cells (erythrocytes) turns ya bright cherry red, like cyanide victims in a mystery novel don’t barbecue indoors! get the furnace and chimney cleaned annually clean the white residue out from under the stovetop if it’s a gas-hog don’t use kerosene space heaters unless the directions say it’s OK keep yer exhaust system in good repair, if’n ya drive a vehicle ***Unlike radon, carbon monoxide causes these sympotoms: dizziness, pounding headaches, watery eyes, nauseousness, heavy sleeping and death*** A GREAT article on radon & CO2 for you all to check out: http://tinyurl.com/yc4defq Cancer survivors vs radon: http://www.cansar.org/ To check out bob Carlson's blog: http://rlcarlson.wordpress.com/ Dana Wilson Safeguard Home Inspection Services Inc. 412-670-3904 dw@paragonlanddevelopment.com Wow....LOTS of information packed into this 30 minute show!! I can't wait to have Bob & Dana on as guests again to talk carbon monoxide!! Thanks for such a great chatroom today!!!...DeAnna HI Everyone-
How fun was today's show? I love having Regina on as a guest! While today's topic of FORGIVENESS may seem a bit odd for a Valentine's Day episode...think about it...HOW can you expect to have a loving relationship if you hold grudges & past hurts against others, or worse yet...yourself? Hopefully we addressed all of this today. Here is a great bit from Christy Whitman www.christywhitman.com What is Self-Love and why is it important to creating all we desire? Loving yourself is the greatest answer to your biggest problems and to becoming the master of your life! The more love you give yourself, the more others will naturally give their love to you. This is based on the Law of Attraction. Having unstoppable love towards your self is also the essential secret for manifesting every dream you desire. When you live from a place of Self-Love, you automatically regain the power to magically manifest those amazing opportunities, financial goals, ideal relationships, and outrageous opportunities into your life. This high energetic frequency of Self-Love is irresistible to others, and naturally opens up other people's energy fields, causing them to want to support you in your manifestations. When you are living from this vibration, everybody is naturally pulled towards you and truly supports you in making your dreams a reality. You literally become a magnet for positive people, circumstances, opportunities, and situations. (I am a huge follower of Christy & encourage you all to peruse her site!) Regina also adds that we need to address our 3rd Chakra, or Solar Plexus (stomach) as this is our "emotional center". Think about it...when we get "angry, upset" we get "sick to our stomach"...or "we get butterflies in our stomach" when excited. Regina encourages us to write a very detailed letter to those that we feel WE'VE wronged or who have wronged US in the past. Take your time, call them every name in the book, write out WHY you are hurt, disappointed and how their actions affected you. Once done...do NOT SEND THIS! Rather, burn it & take the ashes and bury them in the earth. Let it go & move on...There are also many meditations you can do. If interested in learning more you can contact Regina or consult the web, books or other resource. I also work with the Heart Chakra, or 4th Chakra, which is related to "romantic & self-love". This is a Forgiveness Exercise from John Randolph Price:
Make sure to catch the After Show chat where Regina and I speak about how to treat yourself, whether you're with someone else or not! Treat yourself the way you want to be treated. So, it's Valentine's Day & you're dateless...go out with friends, bring the "energy" of what you want to your day....I LOVE chocolate covered strawberries & champagne...SO that's what I had last night. AND this is what I would have done whether I was in a relationship or not. Remember in using the Laws of Attraction you must first BE, DO and then BECOME. If you want more "romance", bring more romance into your life! Don't sit home & whine about it...you'll just get more to whine about! (same is true for abundance, knowledge...whatever). It may sound funny or "loser-ish" to some...BUT I AM happy & I had a very nice evening...What represents romance to you? Do it and/or try to bring it in to your life today! To learn more about Regina is up to, where you can hear her speak or to get a reading...Contact her at 920-494-1337. Her website is www.reginas7pillars.com. She does readings for clients world-wide and is amazing. Until next time...Love Yourself...Forgive Yourself-we all make mistakes, it's how we REACT to them & if we make them again (although some are really fun!)...DeAnna Hi Everyone-

The show definitely took a different track than what I was thinking...but isn't that the fun of this show? Here are Kim's tips for gift ideas & how to make your Valentine's Day (and relationship even better & take it to the next level):
WOOD: ambitious, dynamic, direct, health-focused WATER: freedom-loving, self-expression, unique FIRE: enthusidastic, entertaining, impulsive, passionate, life of the party METAL: analytical, appropriate, elegant, cultured, clean lines EARTH: nurturing, confined, traditional, comforting Keep this in mind when buying gifts or thinking of things to do on a date with any of the element personalities! A WATER person would be more comfortable water-rafting or skiing on a date, while a METAL person would rather go to the theater and an EARTH person would rather go to a charity event or volunteer...See how this works? Kim also suggests using aromatherapy...for perfume or to add ambience to your environment: patchouli, lavendar & cedarwood are great scents for adding romance lavendar & gardenia are great for enhancing romance sandalwood, patchouli & vanilla are the top scents men prefer To learn more about Kim's company, her image consulting business (she can do virtual consults!) or to read her blog, go to www.fashionlifeyou.com You can also contact Kim at kim@fashionlifeyou.com to contact her directly.
